Halifax comes highly recommended, if you're looking for picturesque and historic elements to your Canada multi-centre holiday. It is the capital of the province of Nova Scotia. The largest urban area in the Atlantic provinces, Halifax looks out over one of the world's largest natural harbours and is an important seaport. Nature lovers will find sandy beaches, beautiful gardens and hiking, birding and beachcombing. Urbanites can enjoy the symphony, live theatre, art galleries and museums, and a lively nightlife. Halifax is an affordable city that provides a mix of Canadian history and modern living, with the constant influence of the sea.

Halifax holds a yearly Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo for two weeks, commencing in July. The sheer beauty of the Victorian inspired Halifax Public Gardens is a must for flora and fauna lovers. Given that Halifax has been ravaged by war in the centuries gone by, there is a plethora of historic sites, museums and lookouts here. Point Pleasant Park is the ideal place for joggers, walkers and it is ideal for the perfect back drop to a family picnic. If you wish to see Halifax in all its glory, a recommended tour would be the Harbour Ferry, which will take you to Dartmouth and give you awe inspiring views of this beautiful location.
